They accept household
waste drop offs from residents only

and 1:30pm. If they are residents of
Plainwell or Gun Plain Township the
service is free. Everyone else is charged
$1.00/lb, payment due at the time of
drop-off. Appointment times are certainly
not required but encourage people to
call in advance,especially if they’re
anticipating large loads.

Paint

Latex paint (only) can
be disposed of in your regular trash,
however, you must fill the can(s) with
kitty litter and the tops must be left
off or they will not be accepted.

Another option is to
take your old water-based paint to a
West Michigan manufacturer, RepcoLite
Paints Inc. of Holland. Please click
the link to see what they offer as a
solution to the problem. Their stores
will give a $1 coupon for each gallon
can a customer brings to the store for
the purchase of re-coat paint. The company
does not recycle oil-based paints or
water-based paints that have turned
lumpy, smell or have become solid.
